Sadly, yeah. Moved out here mid-COVID and I really don’t anticipate needing to move (got a good chunk of land, it’s quiet, farm animals, etc.) and I can do my job remote so the internet was definitely necessary. But we’ll see where life takes me.
60K in 10 years is not very expensive if you didn’t have to pay for the digging itself. That could easily be as expensive without any service. Now I don’t know what happens after your current contract though, whether it will be reduced or if you have options to switch providers…
Supposedly it drops to something like $60/mo (in today’s dollars). The rest is actually me having agreed to subsidize the digging itself. I just looked again it’s actually 8 years, so on the whole I still feel like it was worth it.
In fact, I remember them telling me they went way over budget on the project so I’m actually underpaying (we signed agreements prior to them breaking ground). So I guess that aligns.
